Burning Planet

I made this with Blender and Paint shop pro, but I’m looking for something on the background. Stars would be nice but I dont know how I can make it like the planet. Does anyone has an idea?

click on stars in world buttons panel .

Thanks but I mean more than only simple stars. More like real space.

add some clouds textures for the world …

by adding a particle system with yor image as texture, you will have a lot of occurences of your image as stars !

Thanks I know how Im going to make it :wink:

Few weeks ago i had the same problem with the background but then came a tip and i found this tutorial :wink:

or just hijack any of the Hubble pics at nasa.gov and use them as a backdrop…

Thanks. I want to try the tutorial first. My last idea didnt work.

He doesnt use blender to make it, does he? Does he use paint shop pro? Photoshop? I cant find that.

If you wanted to create the starfield or nebula within Blender try this tutorial:

A recent Blender Art magazine covered sci-fi and space scenes, see the following link:

For non-blender stuff, this site has quite a lot of tutorials:

Hope this is of some help.

Thank you I saw a lot useful tutorials on these sites
